Review of GSM/UMTS-handset Samsung G400
Mobile-review have posted their review of the Samsung G400. Here is their final impression.
The reception quality put up by the G400 is in line with other Samsung-branded devices. The ringtone volume is quite decent, as it can be heard in various environments. The silent alert is average strength-wise, no significant improvements have been made here.
This phone has already arrived and is selling for around 400 Euro, which is a bit above the price for the Samsung U900 Soul. But going for the G400 are its new form-factor and a touch-sensitive external screen, which is actually its main feature. As far as its crucial drawbacks go, the Samsung G400 doesn’t have any, at least compared to the U900 Soul’s functionality – in fact it’s the same phone but in a different wrapping.
Recently all phone manufacturers have caught the slider fever, so the niche of clamshells has been pretty much empty. This makes the Samsung G400 a clear winner in the race for consumers’ pockets, as this phone is simply second to none at the moment. As far as I am concerned, the Samsung G400 is one of this year’s best offerings, with the Motorola RAZR2 V8 being its only real rival. In the case of the latter you are getting a more petite and less functional device at a much lower price point (330 Euro or even less), but the choice isn’t all that clear-cut – both phones have their own special flavors. All in all, if you are in the market for a clamshell, you are obligated to have the G400 at the top of your shortlist.
